Notice: this is the supplement pictures of B.M.I.C.C.N. in my store, which I list here again for supplements because of the limited pictures number for each item at Biblio. Size: 32cm X 22cm，there are 44 pages copper papers except covers, of them 10 pages are in blank. The book was published in Tientsin Press, probabaly privately printing because of no pagination and some pages are in blank. so the "Tientsin 1940-1941" on cover probably is for publishing place, but not for the troops in Tientsin, for there are also images of the regiment in Peking, Tongkou, Shanhaiguan, ChingHuangDao etc places.The B.M.I.C.C.N. forces disappeared from China thereafter when Japanese take over Tientsin concessions. You can neglect the reflect light which I took.
